The London International Boat Show
9-18 January

(Source The Telegraph.co.uk)
The London International Boat Show, which starts this week, will feature more large luxury yachts than ever before as boat builders hope their millionaire customers will still be prepared to splash out for the ultimate playboy accessory.
Organisers of the show have revealed that there will be seven luxury yachts, each boasting multi-million pound price tags, moored outside the exhibition in the hope of attracting buyers. Last year the major luxury boat firms displayed just four large yachts between them.
The highlight of the show, in London's Docklands area, will be a 121ft Sunseeker tri-deck yacht, complete with ostrich leather interior, worth £11.5 million.
Also on display will be a 111ft Sunseeker yacht worth around £7 million, while Plymouth-based luxury yacht builders Princess Yachts will be exhibiting at least four new boats including a £4 million 85ft Princess V85 yacht.
A spokesman for the show said: "The kind of people who buy these really expensive luxury boats are probably not going to be badly affected by the credit crunch."
This year marks the 55th anniversary of the event in the capital. From Friday until the show's close on January 18, around 130,000 visitors are expected to pass through the ExCel exhibition centre where there will be more than 500 exhibitors with hundreds of boats from historic replicas, sailing vessels to modern speed boats and motor yachts.
